New user here…
Just starting using Plex on WD PR4100 and testing it out.
I am using the latest beta Plex server from September 5.
I have quite a lot of media files (old black and white tv) which just play as a green square, both on the server preview and on the client, here is some info.
I did try remuxing with mkvtoolnix but this didn’t help, so I think it’s definitely the video, not the mkv container
Here’s a bit info. What should I do now? Thanks in advance.
PS I should say that these files play fine with other players, vlc etc. In fact I can stream them fine to my iphone using mycloud and vlc, for example.
Otherwise Plex is working fine.
